ANALYTICS

We may let other companies use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies on our services. These companies may collect information about how you use our services over time. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand your online activity. In addition, some companies may use information collected on our services to measure the performance of adverts and deliver more relevant adverts on our behalf, including on third party websites and apps. We may also use your information to find similar audiences so we can market to the relevant audiences.

For example, if you have visited certain pages on our website, or place certain products into your cart and then leave the site, you may see adverts on social media personalized to your activity, or receive an email reminding you about your abandoned cart.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING
Dropgun Samples may work with third-party advertisers that use cookies and similar technologies to provide more relevant advertising about Dropgun Samples Products and Services on our website.

On this website, the controller has integrated Google Remarketing services. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords, which allows an enterprise to display advertising to Internet users who have previously resided on the enterprise's Internet site. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows an enterprise to create user-based advertising and thus shows relevant advertisements to interested Internet users.

Google Remarketing allows us to display ads on the Google network or on other websites, which are based on individual needs and matched to the interests of Internet users. More info: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/;

Object to processing of your data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data.
